+====== Data Options Dialog ======
+The {{:sift_data_options.png?25}} Data Options Dialog allows you to customize your how you want to view your data in Sift. The dialog can be found in the [[Sift:Application:Toolbar|toolbar]] and under the File menu.
+{{:DataOptions.png}}
+There are three main sections in the Data Options dialog:
+  - Display Styles Options: This allows you to choose which styles you want displayed.
+  - Edit Styles From: You can select which data type you want to edit the style of.
+  - Colour Palette: This displays the current application's color palette and the dialog to change it.
+{{:DataOptionsOverview.png}}
+===== Display Styles Options =====
+{{:DataOptionsDispaly.png}}
+You have four different ways to display styles. This will update the plots in the Explore page, and appropriate plots in the Analyse Page.
+  - Group
+  - Workspace
+  - Sub-group
+  - Cluster **Note**: Displaying styles as clusters is useful after running [[Sift:Tutorials:Run_K-Means|K-Means]] on PCA Results.
+===== Edit Styles From =====
+In addition to the four display styles, users can also specify the styles applied to excluded data, vertical lines, and intermediate events.

+===== Colour Palette =====
+At the bottom of the dialog you can view the colours that are in the current colour palette. When Sift computes new groups, workspaces, etc., it will draw from this colour palette when assigning colours to these entities. You can change the colour palette by opening the colour palette dialog by opening **Open Colour Prefs...**.
+{{:DataOptionsCP.png}}

You can add a colour using the {{:sift_action_add.png?25}} button, and delete a colour using the {{:sift_action_remove.png?25}} button. Colours can be edited by selecting a colour which will prompt a colour-picker dialog. |
+| **Load Palette** | Palettes can be loaded in from your computer. Some standard colour palettes can be found in the Resources/Colour_Palettes folder located in the directory where you installed Sift. |
+| **Save Palette** | Palettes can be saved to an .xml file to be later loaded in. |
+| **Set for Application** | Sets the current palette as Sift's application default, ensuring it will be applied when you reopen Sift. |
